PSA: Twitter scammers replying promising to give away coins
« on: April 05, 2018, 03:27:14 PM »
PSA: It comes to our attention that some Twitter scam are going on right now.

Some scammers are replying to our twitts promising to give away coins if you send some coins to their address.

Their post looks like it's come from our Twitter account. Don't fall victim to this scam. We are not giving away anything! Be careful!

Thanks for sharing this I received many messages from unknown profiles claiming authorized partners of Bitcoin and they are giving free Bitcoins by sharing some confidential information about me. But I ignored them.
Thanks
